Could this be perfect symmetry
A mirror or an image trap
Research rat I'll accept not so
By body kleptomaniac
One should be bred true and clean
Not by what scientists can do
Cease playing God, its not your job
Our future begs something newer
Proper pa and nurturing ma
Young fresh stock not by dish and doc

Thank you Sir Magnus... I just happen to read what was going on and I thought of this piece of yore. By chance did you catch the double acrostic?

YES! Cloning is just plain wrong, and there are too many clowns out there already.
Hehe, the levity included in this reply is offered to you by reasons of insanity, naturally bred. I haven't met a perfect person on this planet yet, one who would make a perfect breeding machine for cloning a new world poplulation.
Besides, now they want to take ALL THE FUN out of this glorious mating and breeding experience!
SHEESH. God will be mad at this turn of events.

Hear, hear Midnitesun... I much prefer the old fashion way of doing things. It sometimes makes for some strange combinations, but such is life! Thanks for the read and write. Peace.

I agree!!! Love your poem (love the acrostic!)

There is a 'sinister' feel to cloning. Who's to say some rich guy won't clone himself just to have replacement parts in the future? Ick..thats all.

Long time no see, Andrew! Yes I remember this piece and it is very appropriate given the recent news. Your double acrostic is brilliantly and creatively done!

Andrew, I liked this poem, too.

I also think cloning isn't right. I like sharon's reply, too.....

And the old-fashioned way is a lot more fun, isn't it?

M’ Lady deVine… so true.  Can you imagine body parts of Bill Gates or the Sultan of Brunei being harvested in some secret bio-vault?  Ewwwww….

Dear Denise… good to be seen by one such as you.  Thank you for the kudos on the double acrostic.

Garysgirl… Yep!  It sure is!  Thanks for the read and write.

Lady Hoot… a bow to you and yours with thanks.
